Reservoir, which can be comfortably walked around on wide paths (also suitable for strollers), beautiful views along the route included as well as the opportunity to stop off at Hau's am See (it is particularly nice on the terrace directly on the lake) and pedal boat rental included.

The old town of Saarburg with the castle, the church, the mill museum and the waterfall is definitely a magnet for visitors, at least in the summer months. Unfortunately, the old town is usually flooded with tourists on the weekends.

Sirzenicher Gorge is beautiful. You have to cross the creek several times. If that is too difficult, you can also choose the easy path nearby.
